1 General notes on wheels and tyres
(passenger cars)
(VRL006749; Edition 05.2014)
This information is intended to help you form an opinion as precise
and accurate as possible in cases of tyre damage and other com‐
plaints.
In this chapter you will learn more about tyres and wheels/rims.
Tyres are high-tech products that are especially adapted to the
requirements of modern vehicles.
As with all highly developed technical products, tyres require
proper care, maintenance and service. This is essential to ensure
safety, performance and comfort for the entire service life of the
tyre.
Tyres are constantly being further developed. Quality tyres are
the result of modern design methods and production processes,
as well as continuous quality checks. All tyres that are recom‐
mended by VW have been tested by the etechnical

lem has been caused by the tyre or by other components.
Normal wear and tear on a tyre will alter its characteristics. Rolling
noises or rough running can be the result of such wear. These are
simply the symptoms of normal wear and tear and do not consti‐
tute damage in the sense of the tyre being defective. You can take
measures to eliminate the symptoms at least to some degree.
However, in some cases it may not be possible to eliminate tyre
noise completely.

2 Legislative and technical conditions

for converting wheel and tyre combi‐
nations
2.1 Legislative conditions for converting

wheel and tyre combinations
The manufacturer is issued with a general operating permit (GTA
in accordance with § 20 StVZO (German road traffic and licensing
regulations) and EU operating permit) for the overall vehicle with
all parts for specific conversions.
Conversions of wheels and tyres can only be carried out under
certain conditions. When doing this, the following points must be
observed:
♦ If the size of wheel and tyre, with an indication of the load index
and the speed symbol, is included in the vehicle GTA and EU
operating permit/type approval ⇒ page 7 , this wheel and
tyre combination can be fitted on the vehicle without any prob‐
lem.
It is not necessary for the wheel and tyre combination specified
in the registration certificate part I (certificate of registration) to be
fitted. All combinations approved in the vehicle GTA or EU oper‐
ating permit/type approval ⇒ page 7 may be fitted to the
vehicle.
♦ For the conversions recommended by VOLKSWAGEN AG
(see appendix to parts certificate) there are nongeneral oper‐

• Tubeless radial tyres may only be fitted to rims with a safety
hump feature on the shoulder.
• Tyres with run-flat properties (reinforced side walls) may only
be used on disc-type wheels with an extended hump and on
vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring system
⇒ page 56 .
• If the wheel and tyre combinations listed are used, the asso‐
ciated tyre inflation pressures must be adhered to. The tyre
inflation pressures for summer tyres can be found on the stick‐
er on the inside of the tank flap or in the tables of the individual
vehicles.

If only “80” series tyres are entered in the vehicle documents, “82”
series tyres may only be used if an entry has been made in the
vehicle documents.
2.5 Vehicles with Plus running gear

The Plus running gear differs from the basic running gear in the
following components:
♦ Suspension link
♦ Swivel joint
♦ Wheel bearing housing
♦ Anti-roll bar with coupling rod (not on Passat)

♦ Drive shaft
♦ Wheel hub
♦ Brake disc
♦ Brake caliper
♦ Wheel rim
One of the identifying features of the Plus running gear is the
connection between the swivel joint and the wheel bearing hous‐
ing.
A - Connection between swivel joint and wheel bearing housing
on basic running gear
B - Connection between swivel joint and wheel bearing housing
on Plus running gear
The 5 wheel bolts on each wheel are the most visible identifying
feature. The Passat VR6 to 09.93 is an exception. From 06.91,
this vehicle was produced with 5 wheel bolts, but was gradually
equipped with the Plus running gear from 02.92.

Introduction of the new registration documents will lead to barely
any changes for the vehicle operator.
Like the old certificate of registration, the registration certificate
part I (certificate of registration) must be kept in the vehicle and
submitted to responsible persons on request.
It is not necessary for the wheel and tyre combination specified
in the registration certificate part I (certificate of registration) to be
fitted. All combinations approved according to the general vehicle
type approval or EU type approval ⇒ page 7 may be fitted.
The validity of a wheel and tyre combination which deviates from
the general vehicle type approval or EU type approval must still
be verified via an entry in the registration certificate part I (certif‐
icate of registration), an installation certificate based on a part

certificate or general type approval for the wheel and tyre combi‐
nation.
3.2 COC document (EEC Certificate of Con‐

formity)
Manufactures of motorized vehicles must apply for an EU oper‐
ating permit for all class M1 passenger carrying vehicles.
A certificate is produced on the basis of this operating permit - the
COC (Certificate of Conformity).
This document certifies that the vehicle complies with the EU op‐
erating permit (EU type approval) and can be registered in every
EU country without an individual type approval.
The document will be issued for all vehicles that comply with the
EU operating permit.
These vehicles have an EU type plate (black sticker) in the area
of the driver's door, or in the case of older vehicles, in the engine
compartment.

The load rating can be found on the sidewall of the tyre. It provides
information about the maximum load that the tyre can bear.
The load rating is included in the size designation of the tyre (e.g.
195/65 R 15 91T). It is indicated on the tyre as a code according
to ETRTO. The following table shows the load rating codes used
at VW with the corresponding load capacity of the tyres.

4.3 Speed ratings for tyres

The speed rating (e.g. “T”) following the size of the tyre (e.g.
185/65 R 14 86T)) indicates the maximum permitted speed
(vmax) of the tyre.
The tyres for the vehicle must be selected so that their maximum
permitted speed is greater than the maximum speed that the ve‐
hicle (“based on model”) can attain.

Vehicles with national type approval

If the vehicle has a national type approval, the maximum speed
for the vehicle is calculated as follows:
Formula for vehicles with vmax up to 150 km/h
vmax = 1.03 x v + 3.5 km/h ⇒ page 13

AG.
For the letter “v”, enter the maximum speed given in field “T” of
part I or II of the registration document or under number 6 of the
vehicle documentation. This calculation is necessary because all
vehicles, for technical reasons, achieve different maximum
speeds within a legally permitted tolerance.
4.4 Undulations
Radial depressions are slight concavities in the tyre sidewall.
They run from the bead towards the shoulder of the tyre. These
parts appear in the figure ⇒ page 42 .
The cause is the accumulation of material at the joints of the tyre
components.
Undulations have no effect on:
♦ Safety,
♦ Service life,
♦ Handling or
♦ Other characteristics of the tyre.
Undulations are visible to varying extents. It is not necessary to
inspect the tyre or remove it from the rim.

What causes undulations?

Modern steel belted tyres are constructed with single-ply side
walls to save weight.
The sidewall components consist of long strips before they are
joined together to form a tyre. They must overlap at the joints.
Consequently, slight irregularities or waves are created in the
area of the overlapping parts. The overlaps are easier to see from
the outside due to the single-ply construction.
4.5 Tyre storage

Storage room
The conditions have to be:
• dark
• dry,
• cool and
• ventilated
in the tyre storage room.
WARNING
Stored tyres must not come in contact with fuel, oil, grease or
chemicals under any circumstances. Otherwise, the material
in the tyre will be damaged by chemical reactions which are
not always visible.
As a result, dangerous situations can occur when the car is
driven.

Tyres without wheels are best stored standing vertically. If tyres

4.7 Winter tyres

Use of winter tyres
As of 01.05.2006, a change to the German road traffic regulations
(StVO) came into force which caused the following supplement
to be made: "The equipment in motor vehicles has to be adapted
to the weather conditions. In particular, this includes suitable tyres
and antifreeze in the windscreen washing system."

Please point out to customers that, since May 1st 2006, they are
legally obliged to adapt their vehicle's equipment, particularly the
tyres, to winter weather conditions.
For driving in winter, we recommend that the vehicle be equipped
with winter tyres in the sizes recommended in table 2 of the parts
certificates.
As a basic rule:
All tyre sizes listed in the vehicle documents can also be used as
winter tyres.
The handling characteristics may be affected by the use of winter
tyres and the possible change in the dimensions of the wheel and
tyre. Therefore, when using winter tyres, you must adapt your
speed to the changed handling characteristics and to the road
conditions.
To achieve the best possible handling, winter tyres must be fitted
on all wheels.
If the vehicle is equipped with rims other than the factory-fitted
rims, you must take the following into consideration when you fit
winter tyres:
♦ Wheels and wheel bolts are matched.
♦ Whenever the wheels are changed, corresponding wheel bolts
of the correct length and with the correctly shaped tapered
seats are used 1). The secure fit of the wheels and the func‐
tioning of the brakes depends this.
♦ The suitability of winter tyres with less than 4…5 mm tread
depth for winter operation is limited.
♦ Some countries require winter tyres to have a tread depth of
at least 4 mm.
♦ We recommend that winter tyres be replaced after no more
than six years. The special “winter properties” of these tyres

5 Tyre wear/ mileage for passenger car

tyres
5.1 General
A tyre has to meet numerous requirements ⇒ page 20 .
Different types of tyres meet these requirements to varying de‐
grees.
Depending on the conditions in which the tyres are used and on
the type of vehicle, some requirements will be more important
than others.
H, V, and Z tyres for “high-performance vehicles” are expected to
have good grip on wet and flooded roads. However, mileage per‐
formance cannot be as good for tyres of this type as it is, for
example, in the case of S or T tyres.
5.2 Requirements to be met by tyres

A - Wet braking properties
B - Driving comfort
C - Steering accuracy
D - Driving stability
E - Tyre weight
F - Life expectancy
G - Rolling resistance
H - Aquaplaning

5.6 Tyre maintenance

Tyre pressure
The weight of the vehicle causes the tyre contact area to flatten.
This in turn causes the running surface and the entire ply of the
tyre to be continually deformed when a tyre is rolling. If the tyre is
underinflated, the amount of flex is higher, resulting in a greater
increase in heat and increased rolling resistance. This then leads
to increased wear and poses a greater safety risk.
Example: Specified standard tyre pressure with cold tyres, ac‐
cording to vehicle load
Tyre pressure (bar) Tyre pressure (%) Tyre life (%)
2.3 100 100
1.9 80 85
1.4 60 60
1.0 40 25

If tyre pressure is too high, this will result in poor rolling comfort
and increased wear across the centre of the tread. We recom‐
mend always to maintain the tyre pressure specified by the man‐
ufacturer.

of the lateral and braking forces. This causes the front tyres on
front-wheel drive vehicles to wear much faster than the rear tyres.
Even tyre wear can be achieved by rotating (interchanging) the
front and rear tyres on a regular basis. Rotating wheels
⇒ page 68 .
5.7 Evenly worn tyres

The requirements to be met by tyres are increasing continuously.
This is caused by the following factors:
♦ greater vehicle weight
♦ high speeds
♦ high level of vehicle safety
Greater loads on the tyre will, of course, lead to an increase in
tyre wear.

Driving style has a critical effect on tyre wear. For this reason,
customer claims regarding tyre wear on evenly worn tyres are not
covered by the warranty.
The effective service life of a tyre can be determined only when
the remaining tread depth has reached 2 mm (see diagrams
⇒ page 23 ).
5.8 Measuring tread depth
Note
♦ The tread depth is measured in the main tread channels.

♦ Do not measure at the TWIs (Tread Wear Indicators).
Measure the tread depth in the main tread channel, at the points
where the tyre is worn most heavily. The position of the TWIs can
be seen at various points on the shoulder of the tyre

5.9 One-sided wear

This is often caused by driving style, but can be the result of in‐
correct wheel alignment.

Increased one-sided wear

One-sided wear, usually in conjunction with signs of scuffing on
the ribs of the tread and in the fine grooves, always occurs when
the tyres have been allowed to roll with an extreme tyre slip angle,
causing them to »rub« on the road surface.
Driving fast on a stretch of road with lots of curves will cause in‐
creased wear, in particular on the outer shoulder.gen AG. Volkswagen AG

The use of the offroad level is recommended only for driving off‐

The way to prevent one-sided tyre wear is to ensure the wheel
alignment is correct on one hand and on the other hand to make
sure the vehicle is used only for its intended purpose:
Regular servicing of the vehicle and tyres helps to prevent tyre
wear. The following should be noted in particular with regards to
this:
♦ The prescribed minimum tyre inflation pressures must be ad‐
hered to.
♦ Different wear on the front and rear axle depending on the
driving style is unavoidable. This condition can be compensa‐
ted for by rotating the wheels from front to rear. The ideal
opportunity to do this, for example, is during the seasonal
change between winter and summer tyres. This change also
has a positive side effect in that the tyres can wear down
equally, meaning that a completely new set of tyres can be
fitted. This prevents differences between the tread depths of
the tyres on each axle, which can have negative effects on
road holding.
♦ Saw tooth formation is a normal wear pattern, particularly if the
driving style is very careful ⇒ page 30 . This can lead to in‐
creased rolling noise, which generally becomes better as the
tread depth decreases. In the event of light saw tooth forma‐
tion or if saw tooth formation is just starting, exchanging the
wheels between axles is normally sufficient. If saw tooth for‐
mation is very pronounced, the wheels have to be changed in
accordance with ⇒ page 30 so their direction of rotation is
reversed.

5.11 Wear in middle of tyre

This wear pattern is found on the driven wheels of high-perform‐
ance vehicles that are frequently driven long distances at high
speeds.
At high speeds, centrifugal forces cause the tyre diameter to in‐
crease more in the middle of the tread than it does at the shoulder.
This causes drive forces to be transferred to the road surface from

the centre section of the tread. This is reflected in the wear pat‐
tern.
Effects of this kind can be especially pronounced on wide tyres.

♦ “Air pumping” is the compression and expansion of the air

caused by the deformation of the tread blocks as the tyre con‐
tact patch moves along the road surface.
Useful information regarding tyre noise
Tyre noise is determined primarily by the tyres and the road sur‐
face.
The roughness, structure and material of the road surface influ‐
ence tyre noise.
The widths of the tyre and the rim, among other things, influence
tyre noise. Due to their larger contact area, wider tyres will cause
more tyre noise than narrow tyres, as more air has to be displaced
and more “mass” is agitated to create vibrations.
A wider wheel rim will also cause a tyre to have a wider contact
patch. The effect on tyre noise is thus very similar to that of a wider
tyre. Moreover, the damping characteristics of the tyre may also
be adversely affected by the wider wheel rim.
On vehicles with a front-mounted engine, tyre noise is more per‐
ceptible at the rear of the vehicle, as wind and engine noises are
not as loud there.
6.2 Saw-tooth wear

Saw-tooth wear is a stepped wear pattern on the individual tread
blocks ⇒ page 31 that can cause increased tyre noise. The saw
tooth is caused by uneven deformation of the tread blocks in the
tyre's contact patch. Saw-tooth wear is more pronounced on non-
driven wheels than on driven wheels.

New tyres are more susceptible to saw-tooth wear because of the

greater elasticity of the high tread blocks. As the tread depth de‐
creases, the tread blocks become more rigid and the tendency to
wear in a saw-tooth pattern decreases.
Appearance of saw tooth
A - Tread block of a new tyre; seen in direction of motion
-arrow 1-, tread blocks are equally high in front and back.
B - Development of saw teeth; seen in the direction of rotation
-arrow 1-, tread blocks are higher in front -arrow 2- than in back.
C - Seen in the direction of rotation -arrow 1-, tread blocks show
greater wear in the front section of the “saw tooth” -arrow 3-.
Pronounced saw-tooth wear can lead to customers complaining
about tyre noise.
Pronounced saw-tooth wear occurs under the following condi‐
tions:
♦ toe values are too high
♦ tyre pressures are incorrect
♦ tread is coarse and open
♦ tyres are fitted on the non-driven axle
♦ very fast cornering.
non-directional tyres
In the event of saw-tooth wear, the direction of rotation of the tyre
must be reversed. If saw-tooth wear is especially pronounced and
tyre noise has increased, interchange. Vthe tyres diagonally. This

7 Rough running caused by wheels/

tyres
7.1 Causes of rough running

Rough running can have a number of different causes. It can also
be caused by tyre wear. Tyre wear caused by driving is not always
evenly spread across the entire running surface of the tyre. This
causes slight imbalances which affect the smooth running of a
wheel which was previously exactly balanced.
Minor imbalances will not be felt at the steering wheel, but that
does not mean that they are not there. They increase wear on the
tyre and thus reduce the tyre service life.

– Check the true running of the wheel and tyre. If the wheel and
tyre do not run true although there are no flat spots, radial or
lateral runout may be the cause.
– Check the wheel for radial or lateral runout ⇒ page 37 .
– If radial and lateral runout are within the specified tolerance,
balance the wheel and tyre.
Note
♦ More than 60 grams of weight per tyre should not be used.

♦ If more weight is required, you may be able to achieve smooth‐
er running by "matching" the tyre and rim. Matching tyres
⇒ page 39 .
♦ The wheel balancer display should indicate 0 gram.
♦ As an alternative to match mounting, you could use the vibra‐
tion control system - VAS 6230- ⇒ page 36 .
– Bolt the wheel to the vehicle.

– First hand-tighten the lowest wheel bolt to about 30 Nm.
– Then tighten the remaining wheel bolts diagonally to about
30 Nm. This process centres the wheel on the hub.
– Lower vehicle onto its wheels.
– Now use a torque wrench to tighten the wheel bolts diagonally
to the specified torque.
Carry out road test
– After balancing the wheels and tyres, carry out a road test.

If you detect vibration during the road test, it may be due to tol‐
erance in the wheel centring.
In unfavourable circumstances, the component tolerances of
wheels and hubs could cumulate. This too can lead to vibration.
This can be alleviated using a finish balancer. ⇒ page 36
7.5 Vibration control system - VAS 6230-

Using the vibration control system - VAS 6230- you can perform
more functions than just stationary balancing.
A special feature of this system is the testing of the radial force of
the wheel and tyre while rolling.
A roller presses against the wheel with a force of about 635 kg.
This simulates the vertical tyre force against the road surface
during travel.
Radial and lateral runout in the wheel and tyre and differences in
the stiffness of the tyre cause the vertical force of the wheel to
vary.
The -VAS 6230- detects and stores the position of the maximum
measured radial force in the tyre. Then the position of the smallest
distance between the wheel rim flange and the centre of the rim
is measured.

Note
Flat spots caused by hard braking cannot be repaired. Such tyres

must be renewed.
Reasons for flat spots caused by storage or handling:

♦ The vehicle has been left standing in one place without being
moved for several weeks.
♦ The tyre inflation pressure is too low.
♦ The vehicle was placed in a paint shop drying booth after being
painted.
♦ The vehicle was parked with warm tyres in a cool garage or
similar for a long period of time. In this case, a standing flat
spot may even occur overnight.
Eliminating flat spots caused by storage or handling
♦ Flat spots caused by storage or handling cannot be eliminated
from the tyre using workshop equipment.
♦ Flat spots caused by storage or handling can be removed only
by running the tyres warm.
♦ The method described below is not recommended in cold and
wintry weather.
Requirements and conditions:
– Check and, if necessary, correct inflation pressures.

– Drive the car on a motorway where possible.

– Traffic and road conditions permitting, drive a 20 to 30 km
stretch at a speed of 120 to 150 km/h.
WARNING
♦ Do not endanger yourself or other road users during this

road test.
♦ Observe the highway code and speed limitations in force
when performing the road test.
– Raise the vehicle immediately following the road test.

– Remove the wheels from the vehicle.

B - Actual centre of belt. It can be offset to inside or outside.

Exaggerated for clarity.

1 - Offset of belt and tread
F1 - Unequal vertical wheel forces
F2 - Unequal vertical wheel forces
Fk - Conicity force
The offset produces differences in stiffness at the inner and outer
shoulders of the tyre, resulting in differing vertical wheel forces.
Consequently the belt or tread will not be pressed onto the road
surface with the same force (F1, F2). A conical, or tapered, shape
develops. The resulting force (conicity force Fk) can, depending
on the speed, become so great that the vehicle then pulls to one
side.
If the force Fk on one wheel of the axle is, for example, 50 Newton,
and also 50 Newton on the other wheel, and both forces are ex‐
erted in the same direction, the forces are cumulated. Reversing
a tyre on the rim can compensate for the lateral pull because the
forces then act in opposite directions.
Because the direction in which the force of taper is exerted is not
visible, only road tests and strategic rotation of wheels and tyres
can establish which tyres cause the pulling.
The tyre consists of numerous components and materials which
are vulcanised to form a single part at the end of a complicated
manufacturing process. The result is differing production toleran‐
ces which make themselves noticeable through more or less
strong lateral forces (conicity forces). These forces can also occur
in new tyres.
Pulling to one side on front axle
Pulling to one side can be caused by the running gear. However,
experience shows that in 90% of all complaints, the tyres cause
pulling to one side. . Volkswage

The nylon ply -4-, belt layers -5-, bead cores -6- and bead filler

of the tyre.
9.3 Impact damage

A swelling in the sidewall of the tyre indicates that the substructure
of the carcass has been damaged.
Typical causes for such damage include, for example, driving
over kerbs at a sharp angle.
Pinching the tyre in this way can damage the carcass.
The substructure of the tyre is stretched so far that individual fi‐
bres in the carcass may be broken.
The extent of the damage depends on the speed of impact, the
angle of impact, the tyre pressure, the axle load and the type of
obstacle.

9.4 Cuts
Cut caused by a sharp-edged obstacle -arrow-
9.5 Damage caused by foreign bodies

Driving over hard, pointed objects like nails, screws and the like
can pierce the tyre.
This always leads to tyre damage.
9. Tyre damage 49
Damage due to embedded foreign body

Often, the object -marking- is so securely embedded in the tyre
that it will not free itself even at higher speeds. Consequently, it
can act as a plug and seal the tyre relatively well. This results in
a gradual loss of pressure, which the driver will not notice imme‐
diately, but which can lead to sudden and complete tyre failure.

No repair should be attempted on a steel-belted tyre of which the

structure has been punctured by a foreign body.

agen
slightly increased tyre pressure.
Slow loss of tyre pressure
The slow loss of tyre pressure is especially problematic because
even experienced drivers often do not notice it.
Insufficient tyre pressure and the related increase in flexing (in‐
ternal friction) cause the tyre material to heat up considerably and
may lead to the separation of the various components and rubber
compounds.
In the end, the tyre is usually destroyed completely
⇒ page 51 .
The cause for the slow pressure loss cannot always be deter‐
mined because the tyre is severely damaged and structural com‐
ponents of the tyre are missing.

9.8 Tyre damage due to insufficient tyre

pressure
The most common causes for tyre failure are minor external dam‐
age, a defective valve or a leaking rim due to corrosion or dam‐
age.
Separation of carcass and rubber
Excessive heating due to driving with substantially insufficient tyre
pressure ⇒ page 52 led to overheating and subsequent sepa‐
ration of the carcass from the rubber material -arrows-.
The tyre shown here was periodically driven with an inflation
pressure which was insufficient for the load. Typical evidence for
this is the circumferential scuffing along the bead caused by the
wheel flange and also the discolouration. Small, furrowed creases
are visible along the inside of the sidewall.
When the tyre rolls, strong shear forces develop between the lay‐
ers of steel cord, especially at the ends of the belts.

9.10 Tyre damage due to fitting error (fitting

damage)
Bead core broken during tyre inflation.
Modern radial tyres for passenger cars are mounted only on safe‐
ty rims. Safety rims have a hump -1- running along the bead seat.
1- Hump (double hump H 2), extended double hump (EH2)
2- Wheel rim flange
3- Inner rim shoulder (e.g. tapered rim shoulder)
4- Rim
5- Wheel
6- Well
7- Outer rim shoulder (e.g. tapered rim shoulder)
The hump prevents the tyre from being pressed out of the rim
shoulder during travel with insufficient tyre pressure.
When the tyre is inflated, the bead of the tyre may not slip com‐
pletely over the outer rim hump.
In this case, there is a danger of the bead core becoming over‐
stretched if the tyre pressure is too high. The steel wires would
then rupture partially or completely. A broken bead core cannot
be detected from the outside.
Special requirements for tyres with run-flat properties
Wheel rims with a raised double hump (Extended Hump EH2) are
prescribed for tyres with run-flat properties (reinforced side walls)

10 Tyres with run-flat properties
10.1 General
Tyres with run-flat properties have reinforced side walls when
comparing them with normal tyres. This reduces the slippage of
the side walls and prevents the tyre flanks sticking when the tyres
are run deflated. This ensures the vehicle remains controllable
and the vehicle has almost normal driving characteristics. The al‐
leviates the necessity to fit the spare wheel in dangerous condi‐
tions e.g hard shoulder of a motorway or in bad weather
conditions.
A deflated tyre can be driven further to the next workshop (approx.
50 km (approx. 30 miles)) at a suitable speed (max. 80 km/h (max.
50 mph)) and in suitable driving style for the conditions, see ⇒
Owner's wallet .
After checking the respective wheel, the responsibility lies with
the driver to decide if it is safe to drive further with the deflated
tyre.

11 Rolling resistance optimised tyres

The energy loss caused by the deformation of the tyre when roll‐
ing is known as rolling resistance.
With rolling resistance optimised tyres the deformation is greatly
reduced by a revised design and the use of optimised tread com‐
positions.
Volkswagen BlueMotion and BlueMotion technology models are
fitted with tyres with an optimised rolling resistance and all other
safety and customer relevant properties are of the latest level of
development.

12.4 Split rim composite wheels

Split rim alloy wheels consist of several parts.
The major parts are the rim and the wheel centre. These parts are
bolted together with special bolts using a special process. This
ensures that the wheel functions properly, that it is sealed and
safe and that it runs true. These requirements are not guaranteed
with workshop materials and under workshop conditions.
WARNING
You must not dismantle or repair composite wheels!
12.5 Alloy wheels with exchangeable trim el‐

ements
These wheels are fitted with exchangeable trim elements. Follow
these instructions during installation.

12.8 Care and maintenance of alloy wheel

rims
Regular care is required to maintain the decorative appearance
of alloy wheels over a long period of time.
In particular road salt and dust from brake abrasion must be thor‐
oughly washed off every 2 weeks; otherwise the finish of the alloy
wheel will suffer.
Cleaning agents
Suitable cleaning agents:
♦ Plain water or water with soft soap
♦ Water and essence of vinegar
♦ Alloy wheel cleansers without acids or strong solvents
Do not exceed the soaking time of the cleaning agent.
The shorter the recommended soaking time, the harsher and
more aggressive the cleaning agent.

Damage to finish
If the finish is damaged, for example by stones, the damage must
be repaired as quickly as possible ⇒ page 66 .
Removing adhesive residue from glued balance weights on alloy
rims
♦ Strong solvents and acids attack the finish on alloy wheels and
the surface of the wheel becomes matt and milky. Therefore,
these substances should not be used.
♦ To remove adhesive residue on alloy wheels, use alloy cleans‐
ers or a petrol-based cleanser. Do not exceed the soaking time
of the cleaning agent.
♦ After cleaning or removing adhesive residue from wheels,
rinse them with water.
12.9 Restoring alloy wheels

welding or the addition or removal of material is absolutely

12.10 The valve

1- Valve body
2- Valve core
3- Valve cap
1. Valve body
The rubber valve for tubeless tyres is designed to create an air-
tight seal in the hole in the rim. The elastic material of the rubber
valve body presses tightly into the hole in the rim.
In the case of valves with a threaded metal base, a rubber seal is
used to seal the rim. The lateral faces of the rim hole are sealing
surfaces. They must therefore be free of rust and dirt and must
not be damaged.

13. Fitting and removing wheels 71

14 Lupo 3L, Lupo FSI, Lupo GTI from

model year 1999
General
Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings in
safety engineering. To keep it that way, we recommend the use
of only genuine Volkswagen spare parts. You can recognise this
by the VW Audi logo and by the part number. It has been estab‐
lished that these parts are reliable, safe and suitable.
Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other
products on these points, even when in isolated cases they have
been passed by official inspectors or have been granted official
approval. Therefore, we cannot, of course, assume any liability if
these products are installed.
WARNING
The products from Volkswagen genuine parts and Votex gen‐

uine accessories may differ in fitting requirements, torque
specifications and so on. . Volkswage AG n AG d
